I had the valve covers off to install the runners on my TPI. The guy helping me out friendly jokes; Don't drop the bolt into the head, that could be bad. We all have those moments of saying : yeah, yeah, I know what I'm doing........then bloop. There goes a runner bolt vanished into one of the holes next to the valve. Oops.......got it out with an extendable magnet though!

 

broke a metal vacuum tube going into the booster and thought i was f--ked cuz they dont produce them anymore.

 

went to put my Holley on my Trans-Am and told ma gf that i will only be 15 min just a quick carb swap... Well after 10 min i had the fuel line hooked up and found about 3 major leaks, The pipe that goes from front bole to the back one (forget what its called), the front bole had the 2 bottom screws threaded and the main line in was pissing past the washer. after 1 hour of getting told im an idiot from the misses while swaping back to the Q-Jet i came to the conclusion that i should have put a kit through it first (after all it had been sitting around for 8 years in a shed).

 

i say to my gf "oh ya jasmine i just have to alighn my fog lights, itll only be 2 mins and i need a screwdriver, then we can go to the mall" <<actual quote. well i looked at the fog light and the bracket was bent to ****, so i had to take about 30 mins trying to bend it back and because i disassembled it i had to take another 10 to get the screw to start. then i was able to align it, luckily my gf has seen that kinda stuff happen b4 and a scoup of ice-cream fixes her bad day
